Attention All CEDI Trading Partners, Suppliers, Billing Services, Clearinghouses, and Vendors

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will host a national education conference call to address the implementation of the next version of the HIPAA formats - version 5010 for X12 transactions and version D.0 for NCPDP claim transactions. This call is being conducted for all Medicare fee-for-service providers. The call will give a general overview of the transition to HIPAA Version 5010 and D.0 and address some of the exceptions and situations you may encounter as the new versions are implemented. A presentation will be given and CMS subject matter experts will be available to answer questions. A PowerPoint presentation will be posted on the CMS 5010 Web page prior to the call. The 5010 - D.0 Web page is located at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/ElectronicBillingEDITrans/18_5010D0.asp.
